Mock Cable Hat Pattern and Surprise Gift Knitting //Casual Friday 2-45

In this week's Casual Friday podcast, I share my newest pattern release, Mock Me Gently, a hat pattern in 5 sizes, using different yarn weights to achieve different sizes; my latest WIPs (works in progress); the final stage of my knitting library tour; and how I approach (or avoid!) knitting surprise gifts for family and friends.
